I do a back yard show too and I find the board method too cumbersome. I now use the duct tape/bag/stake method.
Not a fan of roman candles. Dont waste your money.
Make sure you test your fuse and know what speed it burns. My white fuse burns super fast. My green fuse burns faster than my yellow. My yellow burns much faster than the Pink. The pink is slower than the Shiny green fuse. That wasn't always the case. My green fuse was always the slowest and yellow was the fastest.
I also don't like the idea of reloading shells during the show. If you must, you can prep them by zip tying the fuses together in groups of 8 or so. Throw 8 in the tubes and light the bunch. Dont put your head over any part. Stick the rest of prepped shells in a ready box. A ready box is designed so it cannot be left open. You lift up the lid, grab a bunch, the box has a string so that closes itself after opening
Invest in zip ties and metal tape. Use this to tie your fuse together.

I cant begin to tell you how much I love these fuse cutters. This tool changed my fuse cutting life. I spit on scissors now.

This fuse igniter will change your life. Lighters might as well be flint. Thats how next gen this is. Get some propane or MAPP

This headlamp makes flashlights a thing of the past and changes your life. Make sure you get one that doesnt have a third strap along the top. If youre not using it you can wear your headlamp on your neck and not lose it.

Also invest some money in some eye and ear protection. I can't tell you how many times I went to bed with a "reeee sound" in my ears, and have gotten pyro shit in my eyes.
Build yourself some real racks if you're up for it. I just recently built myself some and it was a snap.

Linda Rathgeber pretty much taught me all I know about FW through the book "Playing With Fire". I actually called her one day and had a very nice discussion about the program, technique, etc. It felt like I was talking to a Rock Star. Thanks Linda, and thanks Harry Nussbaum for the link.
I can't find any green ones, but there are orange ones that are used on boats for distress signals. Orion is a maker of them: http://www.orionsignals.com/product-groups/smoke-flares/product/73.html
You can find them online on Walmart and Home Depot.
The regular road flares won't make as much smoke, but they are cheaper:
